Ahhh, the Walgreens coupons. I used to be a manager at Walgreens and you would not believe how hard it is to keep ad product in stock. It is especially hard during back to school as many of there products are not in the warehouse. I am glad I don’t have to do it anymore!

Cologate Total (used 1.00 coupon)
Expo Washable dry Erase Markers( Used 1.00 coupon + 3.00 from July coupon book)
2 Pilot G2 pens (used 2 1.00 coupons + 1.00 from July coupon book took off 2.00)
Bought 3 Penway highlighters ( 0.09 fillers )
